BMW have created the world's first electrified wingsuit that can reach speeds of up to 186mph in the air. The innovative concept was a joint effort between BMW, Designworks and professional skydiver and BASE jumper Peter Salzmann who recently tested the suit in Austria. The project Electrified Wingsuit by BMW i was triggered by Salzmann???s aspiration to raise wingsuit sport to a new level and think of ways to improve performance in the air. ??sOne of them was a supporting motor - and it???s an idea I just couldn???t shake,??? Salzmann told BMW. ??sI found the idea of being able to jump from my local mountain wearing the wingsuit and land in my garden fascinating.??? After three years of intensive research and countless test flights in BMW???s horizontal wind tunnel, Salzmann and the wingsuit completed the maiden flight over the picturesque mountains of Austria last week. The 33-year-old was dropped by helicopter at just shy of 10,000 feet alongside two other fliers sporting conventional wingsuits. BMW says the electric wingsuit enabled Salzmann to accelerate faster than his mates at a peak speed of 186 mph - this is three times faster than the horizontal top speed of 62 mph that can be achieved by most wingsuit. The e-wingsuit is built upon BMW i EV technology and powered by a chest-mounted rig. It offers 15 kW of grunt that???s split between two 7.5 kW carbon impellers. The impellers spin at a speed of 25,000 rpm and produce thrust for up to five minutes. The aim of the electric wingsuit is to increase performance and eventually allow for longer distances to be covered. The wingsuit was revealed as part of BMW???s #NEXTGen 2020 event in which the automaker offers a unique look ahead to the future of mobility. BMW will showcase an array of new tech and also reveal the new iNext electric crossover. Following the successful premiere, Peter Salzmann and the experts at BMW i and Designworks continued their development work on the world???s first electrical
